Middleham: The Middleham Festival “Richard III Weekend” now has an own Facebook page for the event. (28.05.2013) – The event will take place from 5th – 7th July 2013. (Extension to last week’s news.)

London Evening Standard: Spacey, king of the Old Vic, plays to the gallery, by Louise Jury (29.05.2013) – A painting of Kevin Spacey in his role as King Richard III will be exhibited in the National Portrait Gallery in London. – To judge from that portrait, Mr. Armitage still has quite some time to play King Richard III and need not worry about his age to be able to play the king.

The KRA-homepage got an article announcement section of the last 5 posts, to more easily jump into the blog contributions on KRA.

If you wrote to KRA during the hectic February / March / April months of 2013 and did not get feedback, please be so kind and get in contact again.
A local computer break down cost KRA quite some mails, though I hope I was able to reconstrue everything halfway. I tried to remember and answer all requests.
But if you still are waiting for an answer, please get in contact again, as your mail might be among the lost.Thank you very much for your kind understanding!

Richard III will rise again. The vanquished deserve a chance to be heard; it is not sporting to deny him that chance, come on guys, be fair or would you prefer that nothing is fair in love and war? What happened to chivalry? Died with the crusade? Hope not.

Thank you very much, Evangeline Ahad!
I think, King Richard’s reappearance in our time makes sense, as in a way he seems to ‘insist’ on a re-thinking and re-evaluation of his reign in a fair way.
He so fiercely fought for the good he believed in, against all obstacles.
Under other circumstances, he would be seen as upright and brave man, but as it is, he only gets the bad characteristics and the good he did and believed in is overlooked.
He deserves to be seen anew as a man of his time, who was dealt with an extraordinarily hard fate.
